Steff Gundling

Senior Brand & Digital Designer

I was born into motion.

Raised in a military family, I grew up moving between continents — shifting schools, cultures, and languages long before most people settle into one place. North America and Europe shaped my formative years, with travel threading between and beyond them. Constant relocation didn’t just make me adaptable — it sharpened my perception. I learned to read nuance quickly, to understand context, and to observe before reacting.

Design became the way I translated that awareness into something tangible.

Over the last two decades, I’ve worked across agency, publishing, film, and digital strategy — serving as an Art Director at a national advertising agency, leading SEO and structural strategy within a data-driven firm, and directing media and design for a long-standing Vancouver Island publication. Along the way, I’ve built independent brand systems and digital platforms for businesses across industries.

My background spans art direction, website architecture, messaging strategy, and performance-informed design. Awards in filmmaking, photography, and graphic design are milestones I’m grateful for — but what matters most is building work that endures.

I hold formal degrees in Graphic Design, Digital Media, and Culture & Technology — but my real education came through movement, collaboration, and translating complex ideas into clear systems.

Curiosity fuels the work. Discipline refines it.

Impact is the goal.
